Hi,

I'm one of those godforsaken gals who's never happy unless she can lay her hands on a mean-looking, notebook-wielding, microphone-holding folk-music-collecting kind of guy.

Let's face it, the USA is currently the pits for this (Springsteen has a lot to answer for), so I've turned my attention to Ireland.

I've been told that there are some truly wild collectors in Clare and Antrim. Does anyone know how to contact them (and I really do mean 'contact them') or should I turn my attentions to Cork and Kerry.
